Torque converter shutter makes vehicle lunge forward while driving. Feels like something pushes you from behind. On a wet road and especially in a curve this could cause rear wheels to slide.

In and out of the shop for the last 3.5 years (Warranty is expired now) with multiple engin codes (CEL). Most having to do with the fuel delivery systems. Most common P026D, and P1089. It has been in the shop at least 6 or more times. GM won't stand by their product. Since the warranty ended I've put mor than $4,000 in to repairs for this and now I'm told it will cost me anouther $6000 to $7000 to repair. I bout this truck used with 60,000 miles on it and paid cash $50,000 to the dealer the originally sold it to the previous owner. I just want them to fix the issue once and for all. To date they have just thrown parts at it but it never fixes the problem. They have changed the MAP sensor, the fuel rail and pressure regulator, the injectors, and they've re-wired part of the wiring harness. None of this has solved the issues.

Experience hesitation at a stop and shuddering at certain speed

I experienced shuttering when accelerating, leaving Treasure Island garage. I got on the freeway and drove 11 miles. I experienced shuttering again after waiting at a red light. I experienced final shuttering after reaching another red light. Had it towed to the dealership and was told that the transmission was no longer operational. Truck was 5.5 years old with a little over 60k miles. I was on the way to pick up my daughter and thankfully, she was not in the truck when this occurred. Truck did routine maintenance at Chevy dealerships only. Fairway for the majority and Findlay the final year of its life.

I was travelling at approximately 32 miles per hour when I rear ended a vehicle that was in front of me, the vehicle in front of me was stopped. The airbags did not deploy in my vehicle. Damage to the vehicle was substantial enough to declare the vehicle a total loss.

The transmission is starting to shutter at high speeds and not shift as intended.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while reversing, the rearview camera image was blank, and the message "Service Camera" was displayed. The contact noticed that upon closing the tailgate with the key, the rearview camera image failed to display while reversing. The contact stated that the failure was initially occurring intermittently, but the rearview camera later became inoperable. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

The contact's husband owned a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while her husband was driving and she was a passenger, their vehicle shuddered and then lost power at approximately 55 MPH. The vehicle was guided to the side of the road, where the contact and her husband noticed smoke emerging near the gear shift. For safety reasons, they both exited the vehicle and moved away from it. The contact then observed flames appearing between the driver's side of the cab and the bed of the vehicle, which quickly burst into flames. Another motorist attempted to extinguish the fire with an extinguisher, but it ran out before the fire could be contained, and the vehicle became fully engulfed in flames. Although the police were called, a formal report was not filed. The fire department arrived and extinguished the fire. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

Transmission shakes, lurchers when driving, transmission stalls then engages abruptly at low speed and highway speed.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact saw oil on the ground underneath the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a leaking valve cover gasket. The contact was informed that the valve cover gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent where it was diagnosed with a failed CAM shaft carrier gasket. The contact was informed that the CAM shaft carrier gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal rumbling sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part not being available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Transmission Component: M5T: TRANSMISSION AUTO 8 SPD, 8L45 available for inspection. The vehicle shakes badly and shudders during acceleration and causes a brief inability to accelerate, often at higher speeds and with a great deal of rumbling and vibration. No other warning lamps, messages, or symptoms. The problem first appeared about 2 months ago. I recognized it as a persistent problem, and I was no longer comfortable driving the vehicle and feared that it would shut down while driving. I took my vehicle for diagnostic and maintenance at a local service center who also noticed that the transfer case "is making an unusual squeaking noise when driving". I was then notified that this is a known problem with this vehicle make and model for 2019 and referred here to file a complaint. Having less than 60K miles on this vehicle, I was referred to the dealership for possible next steps.

Unable to remove ignition key. Sticks in the accessory's mode. This happens periodically and I can eventually get key out by continually moving shifter back and forth until key can be removed. Concerned that eventually this won't work. I noticed that this is the main complaint on the Chevrolet Colorado.

The infotainment center goes out, then comes on on a frequent basis causing the loss of navigation system through CarPlay and now will not even connect to CarPlay also loses backup camera. In addition I have noted that when the blinker is on to signal a turn, it will stop the blinker system when the infotainment center goes out, which is a safety concern with the use of blinkers to signal approaching rear traffic to the vehicle. I have contacted the dealer and also see there’s an infotainment bulletin out. I have not had a response from the dealership as of this report. I am also a certified safety professional, and the loss of turn signal in conjunction with the infotainment center outage raises a safety concern in my opinion. This has been an ongoing issue with the system for the last year or so and has progressively gotten worse to the point that the screen now goes out every minute or so for 5 to 30 seconds and now CarPlay will no longer connect to phone for navigation. The constant screen going black started within the last 30 days of June 2025.

Vehicle will make a loud humming sound going 50 to 65mph and when letting off the gas pedal. It will stop when pressing on the gas pedal or when vehicle slows down below 50mph

No warning lights or messages or anything. Blown head gasket and a large amount of coolant in the oil. I have an appointment to take it to a dealership the end of this week

My 2019 Chevrolet Colorado, equipped with the 3.6L LGZ engine, recently triggered a P0024 diagnostic trouble code. This code indicates a failure of the Bank 2 exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoid, a critical part of the variable valve timing (VVT) system. After researching, I discovered that General Motors has issued Special Coverage N232430470 for this exact issue on the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, which uses the same LGZ engine and solenoid system. Despite the identical failure and engine design, my vehicle is not currently included in the coverage. I believe this reflects a systemic defect that affects multiple model years — not just 2020 — and that GM is choosing to limit coverage unfairly. This failure can result in check engine warnings, drivability issues, reduced fuel economy, and possibly emissions system non-compliance. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate whether this VVT solenoid issue warrants a broader recall or special coverage extension across model years with the LGZ engine (including 2019).

You will be driving down the road and then the power steering goes in and out so stops working and then starts working again. Not safe especially on the highway. No lights go on on the dash. Chevy is currently trying to figure out the problem but has not yet.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact's husband stated that while driving 20 MPH, while attempting to turn into a parking lot, and another vehicle was attempting to exit the same parking lot, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact's husband depressed the brake pedal, the brake pedal seized, and the contact had to veer and downshift to first gear to avoid crashing into the other vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with vacuum pump failure and a fractured part from the vacuum camshaft. The vehicle was not fully repaired. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired by the dealer because the vehicle was not under recall and parts were on back order, as per the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Service anti thief system when trying to start truck message comes on sometimes

I was driving around 60mph on a highway with cruise control. Heavy traffic resulted in a major accident in front of me. I slammed my brakes, which prevented me from getting involved in the altercation. However, the vacuum pump on the Colorado shattered, and I was forced to drive on the highway with a limited ability to brake. I recall the brake pedal being flushed against the floor. Luckily, I am young and strong. However, if any elderly person were driving, they would not be able to brake the car due to the excessive force I had to apply. Furthermore, after pulling off the highway, my engine leaked oil. To empathize, after slamming my brakes, my brakes stopped working.

While driving the vehicle lost power, would not go over 15 mph. There was a loud rattling noise from the engine. Check engine light came on. loss of power and speed prevented me from keeping up with traffic. Had vehicle towed to Chevrolet Dealership was told high pressure fuel pump mounting bolts had broken and fuel pump was loose. Dealer replace fuel pump and one fuel pipe (part #12627128). I paid full price repair ($ 1,775.21) and contacted Chevrolet to see if they would offer any assistance I was under the power-train mileage but over on time. They offered and I accepted 50% of the repair cost but no towing. After some research I discovered there was a recall (18V358000) for an erlier model for a similar problem . The recall was for the fuel pump separating from the base which could damage the fuel line and create a fire hazard. In my case the entire pump came loose which leads to the same result as the pump separating from the mounting plate.

Engine Light turned on. Fan keeps running for 10-15 minutes after truck is turned off. Went to two different mechanics and it is a thermostat problem. Temperature sensor and thermostat both have gone bad in under 5 years. They have told me it is not a good design and now parts are in back order. This needs a recall.

I was in a serious car accident and my vehicles airbags did not deploy.

Transmission Issues — Shudder And Vibration; Stuttering; Vibration And Slams Into Gear At Low Speeds When Going Into Gear. Problem has been confirmed by a independent service center. No warning lights. No codes detected by service center. Bought in May of 2019. 47,000 miles. Noticed about two months ago,

I purchased my 2019 Chevy Colorado Z71 new in Feb 2019 from a dealership. About two years ago I began having shifting issues from 1st to 2nd gear, it would shudder and seem almost stuck, this would only occur infrequently. Right after I hit 100,000 miles (about a year ago) I have had nothing but issues with the 8 speed transmission, my vehicle is unable to shift from 1st to 2nd without having the shudder occur, it feels like the whole truck is shaking and loses power at acceleration. I took it in for their recommended "service bulletin" which was something that I had to locate myself because GM has not once communicated about there being any kind of shudder issue and they performed a simple flush of the transmission, not the service bulletin recommendation of three flushes and a different fluid. My truck is now in the shop because I am unable to drive it due to this ongoing issue that GM fails to recognize and so far have spent $1,000 attempting to rectify this issue and being told that in order for them to actually perform the service bulletin, it will be another $225 to diagnose the problem, around $500-$700 to perform the service bulletin, and then if that "does not fix the problem", I will have to spend another $900 on a torque converter because that "could" be the issue, the dealership "doesn't know". Then the third fix would be to replace the transmission ($5500-$8500) This has been a known issue since manufacturing and GM is failing to provide adequate assistance to fix a known problem with their 8 speed transmissions. I no longer feel safe to operate my chevy colorado in fear that it could cause serious injury to myself and others due to GM not being able to provide a safe fix to their ongoing issue.

My vehicle has only 70,000 miles on it. My transmission began to shimmy and is getting worse and worse and several technicians have told me the transmission will have to be replaced. The parts are not available anywhere in the country to rebuild the parts of the transmission that are defective. Secondly I was told I could replace the transmission but there are no transmissions available in the entire country to repair my vehicle with. After investigation on the internet this is a massive problem with this model vehicle and Chevy has been well aware of it for years. A few months ago I had the same problem with them air conditioner compressor. There were no air conditioner compressors available anywhere in the country for my four and a half year old vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal was stiff. The contact pulled to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The message "Brake Assist - Service Required'' was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake assist vacuum pump and the carburetor cap needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 87,000.

Transmission extreme Shudder

The steering wheel would not turn right while driving. The steering rack failed. The truck has only 10000 miles on it. We almost wrecked because of this defect. No warning messages appeared. The vehicle was inspected and the failure was confirmed by an independent service center.

This truck has roughly 41000 miles on it. As I was driving home from work on [XXX], I heard a faint noise and then my truck just lost power and died on the freeway. There were no engine warning lights on and did not want to restart and stay running. After a few times of starting and dying the message on the dash said keep driving engine is in regen. This is a diesel truck and the newer ones have a regeneration that is done with DEF. I was unable to get it off onto the exit, but did get it off the roadway. The vehicle was towed into the shop on February 3rd, 2024. The shop had to order parts and said that it was just a faulty part. I received the truck back on March 14th. I drove it home from the shop and to work for two days putting roughly 100 miles on the truck. On my way home on [XXX] , the truck died again with no warning at all. Same symptoms, just no power and no warning. The truck was towed back to the shop where it still sits today. The problem is there is an issue with this thing dying without any warning at all. The dealer and Chevrolet techs have been unsuccessful in finding the problem. It has been almost 6 months in the shop with literally no idea of what is wrong. I feel this is a serious safety issue that could leave people or families stranded without any warning or idea of how to repair. I feel this should be investigated and brought to someone's attention. I have contacted Chevrolet, but unfortunately they have left everything up to the dealership. The dealer is Auburn Chevrolet in Auburn, WA.

the ignition key gets stuck on the accessory position and doesnt come out

I cannot remove the key from the ignition switch after shutting it off. The engine will shut down but the key stays on the accessories position eventually causing the battery to go dead. It doesn't do it all the time, but it at some point in time it will become permanent. I consider this a very serious safety issue as I cannot lock the vehicle therefore it can be very easily stolen. Since I cannot lock it, a child could get in the vehicle and start it up and who knows what would happen after that. I also owned another GM vehicle with the same issue the key could not be removed from the ignition switch. Because an injury was involved a GM Rep came to check it out. After working several hours, he told us he could not find anything wrong with the ignition. It seems funny we never had an issue with it after he had checked it out. Lawsuit averted! I firmly believe this is a serious safety issue must be investigated!!

truck has intermittent vibration at highway speeds and they are getting worse. The dealer just called and said the torque converter was shot. That seems to be a great deal of the power train complaints

The bolts that secure the High Pressure Fuel Pump to the engine head broke apart causing the vehicle to lose power and leak gasoline.

Steering binding hard in turns. Turns over 45 deg of steering wheel rotation cause periodic binding in the turn, regardless of vehicle speed. Can be reproduced when the truck isn’t moving. Very nearly caused a serious accident as could not control direction out of a turn at 30 mph, and had to come to a rapid stop to avoid hitting another car. Wiggling the steering wheel in both directions with moderate force/torque releases the binding steering. Vehicle only has 44,000 mi with no off-road use. Vehicle is going in for service on 4/18/24. Extremely dangerous failure mode, whatever it turns out to be.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving 60-70 MPH, the transmission was slipping, and the vehicle decelerated and shook before slamming into gear and then continuing to accelerate. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that after stopping, the vehicle proceeded to move off in another gear other than 1st gear, then abruptly downshifted into 1st gear. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a complaint was filed, the contact was added to a list, and then referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

My radio is hooked up with my reverse camera, it has been malfunctioning for about a year now. When I place my truck in reverse and the reverse camera comes on it only displays it for 3 seconds than turns immediately off. This is causing a safety issue. I depend on this radio and camera to work properly. They dealer have to assume responsibility over this matter.i took my truck the dealership right 104 thousand miles, the dealership is charging me humongous amounts of cash to have the safety concern fixed.

The High Pressure Fuel Pump detached from engine and snapped off flange and bolt in the head of engine . The part is available for inspection and was removed by dealership. Vehicle was being driven at highway speed at time of failure. Narrowly avoided an accident as truck lost power and went into limp mode. There was no prior warning leading up to failure.

See attached document for complaint

February 2023 my son was driving 40 mph (approx) and the power steering became disabled. We took the truck to Landers McLarty Chevrolet. They never mentioned a known recall for this issue on previous year models. The Truck only had 27,000 miles but was out of warranty for the 3 years had expired in August. They gave an initial estimate and repair of $750. Picked up the vehicle and on the way home same thing happens again - lost power steering and then had warning lights on dash after it went out. Took it directly back to dealership. 3 attempts and 5 weeks later including +-$5K cost for 3 different repairs - issue seemed to be resolved. The issue returned today as my son was driving 55 mph (approx) lost power steering in extremely heavy traffic. Knowing what had happened before he was able to navigate to an exit without having an accident. There seems to be a known issue with the power steering on the Colorado. There was a previous recall on earlier year. I had made complaints and spoke to GM multiple times and they said it needed to go through the dealer. GM never mentioned any recall issue with power steering on previous years and offered no direction on possible issues as the truck sat for weeks on end with no resolution.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the vehicle jerked abnormally. The contact stated that when the gear shifter was shifted from park to drive, the vehicle jerked excessively. In addition, the contact stated that while driving uphill, the transmission was slipping. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine service and the dealer was made aware of the failure however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact stated that the failure was persistent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,100.

Driving on interstate sudden acceleration then when truck turned off radiator fans would not shut off ,also problems with infotainment system since truck was bought never fixed they always told me couldn’t duplicate problem

Transmission slips when starting on steep grades, and transmission hesitation/shuttering between first and second gears.

Transmission slips when starting on steep grades when first shifting from Park to first gear. Transmission hesitates/shudders between first and second gears.

The electronic power steering failed while driving making the steering of the vehicle difficult and if my wife or child had been driving this could have resulted in an accident if they could not steer the vehicle without the power assistance. The instrument cluster displayed to service the power steering unit. Mechanics diagnostic is that it was the corrosion of water entering the system. Also that this I a known problem. There was a recall recently for 2015 models for what appears now to be a technical service bulletin for the newer years of the vehicle. This is a dangerous issue that seems to have now plagued multiple years of the Colorado pickup. The mechanic also stated that AUL service warranty (protective asset protection) denied the claim to repair as it is a known issue.... Currently attempting to speak with them to appeal the decision. The warranty company is also not above board as well as they have worded their contract to be misleading with provisions to deny claims due to common causes of failure. Realistically if Chevrolet did not address the problem of the 2015 model year the recall should be expanded.

When I put the truck in park it goes into park fine. I can turn the engine off but I can't remove the key because the ignition switch won't go all the way forward. The lights stay on and also the radio. I had to repeatedly start and stop the truck and move the gear shift selector to remove key. I had the same problem in February 2022. The dealer fixed it by replacing gear shift selector while under warranty. The problem was remedied. Said this was happening and there was a TSB about this problem. This problem was never consistent. Now in Aug. 2023 I am having the same problem. The truck is no longer under warranty and the dealer says that I must pay to have it diagnosed and fixed. Chevrolet is aware they have this problem with several different models and don't want to acknowledge it and take responsibility. There are several class action lawsuits filed about this. This is a safety issue because I just can't leave the truck with the key in the ignition. I looked online and have seen that Chevrolet has this problem with several models of different years. They should find a solution and have a recall to address this problem. The dealer also told me my truck was actually worth less if I were to trade it in because of this problem. Should have said something in 2019 as they knew about this problem since at least 2016. They fix the problem by replacing faulty parts with the same faulty parts.

While driving steering assist went out and the steering wheel would hang up and make it hard to control. You could get past the stoping point with effort but the control would wonder and make it hard to turn. Luckily it happened close to home because it would have been hard to control at speed and in traffic.

5 FUEL SYSTEM CONCERN TECH(S):131 Customer States, There is a fuel leak present on the top of the tank where the filler neck goes to the tank. Please inspect and advise NEED TO LOWER FUEL TANK AND INSPECT IF FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING OR ONLY ITS SEAL. 131 LOWERED FUEL TANK AND REPLACED FUEL PUMP SEAL, VERIFIED NO LEAKS ALL OK AT THIS TIME I was fueling up with diesel and it started leaking on the ground

The truck has a hard downshift and when stopping and starting again at a stop sign it will lunge forward sometimes.Also,when holding speed at 50-60 mph you can feel a slight shutter like the truck is not running correctly.The dealer flushed the transmission when I purchased the truck but the issue continued so I made an appointment with the service department on march 3,2023.They took the truck on a road test and did notice the hard downshift and noted that this is a normal characteristic of this transmission(this is not normal and is unsafe)and will not offer to repair it.It is now the end of July 2023 and the issue continues and no one seems to want to do anything about it.I am going to take it back again but I am probably going to get the same answer

We purchased a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado December 2022. Beginning in January 2023 to current month July 2023 the vehicle has been at the dealership 4 times for the same occurrence: SERVICE STABILITRAK and ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED A warning “ding” sounds (the same noise as seatbelt, door ajar, etc) simultaneously with the messages “SERVICE STABILITRAK” and “ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED” The vehicle immediately is jerking or lurching, the engine no longer runs smoothly and is misfiring. The engine power reduced does not allow safe acceleration, and the vehicle is unstable (as it moves it feels like driving over a thousand speed bumps over and over), the engine misfiring is heard from the exhaust and the vehicle is visibly vibrating, on acceleration the maximum speed is 20 mph. All 4 times this has happened while driving the vehicle on highways in traffic. We are left unable to get out of the way of moving traffic, unable to accelerate, change lanes or make turns safely. Three of the four times we had the vehicle towed to the dealership. The last time the vehicle did this fortunately I was near our local dealership and drove it less than a mile so the service people could “witness” what I had been trying to explain what’s been happening with this vehicle. This is a very serious issue! My husband is 75 and very ill. I have to drive him 100+ miles for treatments on a regular basis. We cannot continue to be put in danger because of this vehicle default. We need this problem fixed not only for ourselves but for the safety of others, including unsuspecting drivers and innocent passengers, young, elderly, disabled, some simply misunderstanding our vehicles “failures to perform” in traffic on the roads. A trusted vehicle is very important. A stabile vehicle with sufficient engine power is a must if we are going to put it on the roads. “SERVICE STABILITRAK” and “ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED” is not new. General Motors needs to take action to correct this problem and educate dealers.

I recently purchased a certified 2019 Chevy Colorado z71 on June 26, 2023 from Healey Chevrolet in Poughkeepsie N.Y. while test driving the vehicle I brought to the attention of the sales person that there was a vibration in front left wheel at which time the dealer rotated tires and realigned the vehicle, shortly after picking the vehicle up while driving home the vibration started again and progressively got worse the more I drove as well as the steering becoming very stiff and took effort to turn wheel. I contacted dealer took vehicle back at which time the salesperson test drove it and agreed there was a problem the dealer then replaced the rack and realigned shortly after picking vehicle up while driving the problem started again and got worse the further I drove now vehicle has a mild vibration in front left when driving between 40-50 mph contacted dealer spoke to service manager who stated he wasnt aware of any vibration I explained it was coming back on Monday July 17, 2023 for paint touch up to please see whats going on, later same day took truck to go to store while driving the steering again became very tight as I was turning into parking lot power steering went out almost causing me to hit another car contacted dealer vehicle towed to dealer. was contacted by Ray from service who told me no codes were found and could not duplicate issue said tech drove it and found no vibration he asked for permission to drive home to check it I explained to him I have 2010 silverado 1500 with 200,000 miles that I plow with that steers better than this I also explained my brother owns exact truck same year every except his more miles and steers perfect, I also mentioned that a friend that is a gm tech said theres tsbs on these trucks for this issue he stated he had no knowledge of such which is strange since I clearly see them online. I am afraid to drive it. something isnt right. I love truck otherwise just want it fixed.

While driving on the highway, especially extended trips, the vehicles steering will get very stiff, extremely hard to turn off of center, you need to “jerk” the steering wheel in order to move it, then it will stick in that position also.

Thermostat malfunction. Part was nearly impossible to locate. Was without transportation for 5 days. Replacing a thermostat on a 2019 Chevy Colorado is now a major repair. The total cost was in excess of $1100. The vehicle only has 34,800 miles on it.

* The touch screen went blank. After inspection by Dealer, it was discovered the radio failed causing this event to occur. * Without this component, the turn signals did not work properly, the seat belt warning did not sound, there was no access to rear camera, and rear cross traffic warnings and back-up camera did not work. In addition, access to On Star did not work for any emergency situations. * Dealer confirmed the radio caused this issue. * Only the Dealer inspected the vehicle. * There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the event occurring. It happened after starting the vehicle one morning (April 25, 2023). Additionally, the light on the touch screen remained on when the motor was turned off, causing drain of the battery and leaving me stranded. I had to call emergency services to help me. I had to purchase a new battery because of this along with the purchase of a new radio component as well as pay for re-programming of the system. Total cost of this incident was $1,400.71. It should also be noted that the vehicle only has 65,000 miles on it.

Key gets stuck in the ignition switch. Will NOT turn all the way to off. Radio keeps playing, lights stay on, key can NOT be removed. Engine does turn off.

The stabitrac system malfunctioned and went into low power mode while on the highway almost in an accident because of speed loss. The button to turn it off did nothing. Still unsure what caused this to malfunction but needs to be a way to override to maintain speed without power loss

Twice now I've had to have the powering steering replaced due to water penetration. After approx 25000 miles both times I've had failure. The power steering will momentarily stop causing you to apply pressure to the steering wheel causing an over steer condition. This also happens in slow turns to when you try to straighten the wheel, it's almost like a magnet keeps you from turning and when it releases, you over steer causing the vehicle to cross over the lane your traveling in. Several other people have had this same issue as I've researched it online. It's a very dangerous situation, and now a costly one if this keeps happening.

COMPONENETS FAILING: Passenger side headlight and blinker keep failing. Driver side running light keeps failing to illuminate. Driver side rear brake lights keep failing. Rear passenger side reverse light and blinker failing to illuminate. SAFETY: I have no way to safely drive in the dark or daylight because the blinkers and headlight are failing to work properly. INSPECTION and CONFIRMATION: The problem keeps reproducing itself about every month or so since purchase, July 4th of 2022. The dealership has attempted to work on the problem four times already. Three times at the same dealership and once at another auto shop. The dealership is the only one that has inspected it. They have been in communication with the engineers on multiple occasions. KNOWN PARTS REPLACED AT THIS TIME: The BCM, wiring harness, fuses, and fuse box have all been replaced since September of 2022 to now, March 7 2023. WARNING MESSAGES RECIEVED: The only warning messages I have gotten are blinker failure, break light failure, head light failure.

It's been a year i bought this 2019 chevy Colorado about having the truck a week i went back to where i bought the truck told the guy that sold me the peace of shit the key gets stuck in the ignition i carry a jump starter with me truck starts when it wants . and when driving on a road that has kid of sharp turn the truck slides like u lose kind of fells like u losing control espial on a rainy wet day it scary to drive the truck

I was stopped, and given a warning by a police officer for having no tail lights whatsoever. All other lights were functioning, and they had been fine the day before. These vehicles have four identical stop and tail lamp bulbs. I tested with my multimeter, and found that there was current at the socket. I replaced all four bulbs. Upon inspection, I determined that a SINGLE bulb of the four had a broken filament. It seems ridiculous that one bulb failing should cause the other three to go off duty. What is the point of two bulbs on each side, if they all quit when one dies?

Ignition Key does not rotate to the off position to be removed.

The 7in infotainment system regularly has problems. Most of my problems occur during and after phone calls. When talking, my audio will echo me at a loud volume for a brief second and then cut out for 3-5 seconds. When it comes back the audio will not always be at the volume it was previously. Sometimes louder sometimes very quiet, either way I have no control to change it. This will regularly happen 2-5 times during a 30 min phone call. Usually when I hang up after this happens the problems will persist. Sometimes all audio goes out, sometimes I will lose the ability to control the volume, and sometimes the volume will adjust after a 5-10 second delay. The display will sometimes blackout or reset. These problems are system wide across all audio functions including FM radio, Bluetooth audio, and apple carplay. The only way to correct the issue is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and open the door.

Shuddering while driving, transmission feels like it is slow to shift. Forward crash sometimes alerts for no reason

Every time I'm driving on highway the truck keeps vibrating and feel like its going to shut off any minute. Also when I try to pass a vehicle it takes couple seconds to responds and then I feel like the transmission kicks. I feel like chevy should do a recall to fix this popular problems. In other words the truck has problems shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. You feel a little kick/jump when you hit the gas.

I pulled off the dealer lot with 3 miles on the odometer, came to a stop sign and damn near smacked my face on the steering wheel due to a hard downshift from 2nd to 1st gear. Pulled back into the lot and was told that "I have to break it in". As I laughed in his face, I knew I messed up buying a GM product. 20 miles down the road, I start getting transmission shutter during light acceleration. Took it back to the dealer and they ended up changing the fluid. As I was coming to a stop to pull in my driveway, the transmission hard shifted and threw me past the driveway. Took it back in to hear "Yep, that is GM acceptable". I am now having transmission shutter so bad, the truck will barely accelerate at 30mph or faster. This truck is absolute junk and I tell everyone I know, not to buy a GM truck. I will never buy an American made truck until they are made in America again, as they are overpriced and don't last. I want my money back!

While driving the vehicle listed above, the steering wheel locked, causing the tires to remain stationary. The vehicle was not able to be moved until a tow truck moved the vehicle to the dealership. The vehicle is fairly new, and has approximately 40K miles.

Had my truck towed into a Chevrolet dealer to have power steering module checked since it stopped working. Dealer told me the harness was corroded and there was water build up in unit. Got a call a couple days later when it was supposed to be fixed and now the steering column needs to be replaced due to the steering shaft being rusted out.

Forward collision goes off on its own for no reason, my ac went out at 4000 miles and cemetery froze over, my rear third brake light leaked at 5 months old and ruint my headliner and they wouldn't fix it without me paying, and now I am experiencing the shudder from my transmission that appears to be a common issue with all the trucks chevy put out. I also feel as if they will find a way to not cover this as I am out of warranty

Power steering stopped working. Seized and locked up, couldn't turn steering wheel.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact notified the dealer of the failure and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The dealer instructed her to take the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that after driving approximately 65 MPH and then with the vehicle being idle, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The power steering assist warning light illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle to regain power steering functionality. The failure recurred approximately three times. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the temperature gauge would not operate and the engine light would remain illuminated. Also, the transmission had intermittently experienced slipping. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Transmission will jerk/run poorly between 30-50 mph. This will cause deteriorated driving conditions and inability to stay with other vehicles with acceleration. Service performed by Chevrolet to rebuild transmission due to pump failure which damaged clutch pack. Service was covered under powertrain warranty. Rebuilt transmission now slips out of 3 and 4 gear and allows for lose of acceleration control.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the rear end of the vehicle was making abnormal roaring sounds and the vehicle was shuddering. Additionally, the contact stated while accelerating from a complete stop, the transmission would shift hard. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that the front driver's side seat belt would not buckle securely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.

Transmission problems. Vibrates under acceleration and deacceleration. Occasionally won't shift gears up or down, slips or hesitation between shifts. Violet jerks at times. Dealer has done a fluid drain and flush at 20k miles, replaced torque converter at 54k miles. Goes back in again on Monday for the same complaints. I'm responsible for transporting my 5 year old daughter to and from school. Difficult to travel highway speeds when it decides to act up. Research shows many design flaws and thousands of compliments. I fear for my families safety when driving this. I'm told it's safe by dealership??

Fleet vehicles allow shifting from park without seatbelt, intermittently. Another similar year that I drove was easily broken to always allow shifting out of park with no seatbelt where it should have been required. Thank you

Ignition Key Cannot Be Removed and / or Does Not Rotate to the Off Position. This has been going on for about a year and I have taken it to the dealer 3 times and they are unable to fix the issue. I have searched online and there are many Chevy Colorado owners facing this issue. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t58416_ds944027

The ignition gets stuck when trying to completely shut off the vehicle and won’t release the key or shut off the vehicle. I was stranded in a parking lot with my young daughter, unable to get the key out. In order to shut off the vehicle and remove the key I had to remove connection from the vehicle battery. The closest dealership is an hour away from where I live and this is our only vehicle so I would not be able to come home until the problem is fixed. No warning or malfunction indicators.

My rear-view camera does not work anymore and displays a blue screen. It is available for inspection. Happened after the weather turned colder. Vehicle has 38,000 miles and dealer won't cover it. Potential problem of running into someone behind me while backing up. No previous messages until the problem occurred. I understand that there are a lot of GM vehicles with this issue.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE RADIO AT A NORMAL VOLUMN THE VOLUMN ON THE RADIO WILL SPONTANEOUSLY TURN ALL THE WAY UP WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS EXTEREMLY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF CONTROL OVE THE VEHICLE.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that the rearview mirror was always dark, which caused difficulty invisibility. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer informed the contact that the rearview mirror needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Ignition Key Cannot Be Removed and/ or Does Not Rotate to the Off Position. It started about three weeks ago and has gotten progressively worse. The engine turns off but the vehicle remains energized. Repeat start, gear cycling, steering wheel movement and holding the shifter detent randomly allows the key to be moved to the fully off position and removed. Reference GM bulletin PI1429B. Applies to my 2019 as well. Dealer did no research when I took it in and could not reproduce at time of inspection. Said it was out of warranty and without being able to reproduce, would have to have a tech try to reproduce then diagnose.

The vehicle shakes and shudders when accelerating and driving under normal conditions. The feeling is that of a very bumpy road or going over rumble strips. It is more evident in hot conditions and in more humid conditions. I have contacted several dealers, but none can offer or guarantee same day service, and none offer a loaner in case of a long repair. There have been no warning lights or service lights to the condition. The dealers do state that it is a known condition. The drive-ability is compromised, and it is very uncomfortable and unnerving to operate at this point.

Key keeps getting stuck in the ignition apparently talking to the dealership service department, they have no clue either. Many other people complaining and GM not doing anything about it. This should be a recall since it is affecting many different colorados and different year models also

As I went around a turn (low speed), the truck lost power steering for about a half of a second. It came back online right away, but caused me to take the turn poorly. At the same time, the engine shut down and all of the lights on the dash went out. I stopped the vehicle, put it in park and restarted the vehicle. Everything then worked as if nothing was wrong. There are not any warning lights. It was as if someone simply turned off the ignition for a minute.

I EXPERIANCED TRANMISSION CHATTER AT AROUND 12,000 MILES. WHEN I READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DO TO THE WRONG TRANSMISSION FLUID INSTALLED AT THE MANUFACTURER. IT WAS NOTED TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHANGE IT TO MOBIL 1 TRANSMISSION FLUID. AFTER 11,000 MORE MILES I NOW HAVE THE SAME CHATTER BACK. I FEL THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS DO NOT WANT TO DIVE FURTHER INTO FINDING OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, CAUSE IT'S UNDER WARRENTY REPAIR AND THE DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF YOUR COMPLAINT. SO THAT YOU COME BACK AND HAVE TO PAY OUT OF YOUR POCKET WHEN YOUR WARRENTY IS UP. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER IN MY EYES. WRITE ALL YOUR COVERNS DIRECTLY TO GM AND VENT YOUR ANGER WITH THEM. AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK I'M GOING TO THE NEWS CREWS TO MAKE IT KNOWN.

Truck worked perfectly fine, then it was parked for a week because I had to have emergency eye surgery. After a week, started truck. Truck started spewing errors U0121 and U0131. Managed to get it to dealership with no steering and am told it is a power steering module failure and the cost to fix is $1800. The truck is barely out of warranty and I have seen numerous posts on forums across the Internet of others that have also experienced problems with their 2019 Colorados and the recalls on the 2015s for the same issue. - Component: Power Steering Module - Safety: Absolutely no power steering, extremely difficult to almost impossible to steer. - Reproduction: Yes, truck is at dealership. Confirmed errors and confirmed power steering module needs to be replaced. - Warnings: No warnings prior to truck being parked for a week. As soon as truck was started, received warnings and no power steering or traction control. Absolutely no symptoms prior.

The key remains stuck in the ignition when the vehicle is turned off. This started occurring intermittently about two months ago but has become constant in the last two weeks. I'm concerned about leaving the key due theft concerns. I have an appointment with the dealer, but my research has found that this problem has been persistent with model years 2016 to the present.

Key gets stuck in ignition when shutting engine off leaving driver stranded and stuck with vehicle until key releases from ignition. No warning lights.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the electric power steering failed and the steering wheel stiffened. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle however, the failure recurred. The message "Service power steering unit drive carefully" was displayed. An independent mechanic went to the contact's residence and diagnosed that the power steering had failed and informed the contact that there was a recall related to the failure. The dealer was made aware of the failure, but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,000.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING CAUSING CHALLENGES ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE PASSING ME ON THE RIGHT AND POINTING DOWN AT MY TRUCK. I REMEMBER MY TRUCK HAD SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO PRESS ON THE GAS AND MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE TO PULL OVER IT DID NOT RESPOND. I THEN NOTICED SMOKE FILLING THE CABIN THAT WAS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH AND UP THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION STICK. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THEY WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I ENDED UP USING THE EBRAKE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND PULL TO THE SIDE. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE IT WAS ALREADY ON FIRE AND I PROCEEDED TO MOVE MYSELF TO SAFETY. A PASSING FIREMAN TRIED TO USE AN EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE TO NO AVAIL. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 14000 MILES ON IT AND WAS TWO YEARS OLD WITH NO RECENT WORK DONE TO IT AT ALL

I HAVE A BLUE SCREEN ON MY BACK UP CAMERA DISPLAY. WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE THE RADIO/CAMERA DISPLAY SAYS "SERVICE BACK UP CAMERA".

SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW, I HAVE EXPERIENCED HARD SHIFTING, SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING, ALSO EXPERIENCE ROUGH IDLE AT TIMES.I HAVE HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED BUT I STILL HA E THE PROBLEM. I'VE EVEN HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND HE STATED HE EXPERIENCED THE LUGGING SENSATION, AND SAID IT'S NORMAL, THEY STILL DID NOTHING TO HELP ME, AND THIS IS NOTED ON THEIR SERVICE RECORD! THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND I GET THE SAME ANSWER AS THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG.

THE TRUCK SHIFTS AGGRESSIVELY BETWEEN 10 AND 20 MPH. LIKE IT'S SLIPPING NOT ENGAGING INTO SECOND GEAR. STARTED NOTICING IT AT 16,000 MILES AND HAD THE TRUCK SINCE BRAND NEW.*DT*JB

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DROP INTO 1ST GEAR. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION KICKS INTO GEAR VERY HARD, CAUSING A LOUD NOISE AND CAUSING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO HAVE THEIR NECKS JERKED BACK, VERY HARD. THIS PROBLEM WAS PRESENT FROM THE TIME I PULLED IT OFF THE LOT WITH 4 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN AT NEARLY EVER STOP I MAKE. THE REAR BRAKES PADS ARE WEARING OUT 3 TIMES FASTER, THAN THE FRONT PADS. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO CHANGE REAR BRAKES IN A VEHICLE, BUT THE CHEVY COLORADO HAS AN ISSUE WITH REAR BRAKES WEARING VERY QUICKLY.

TRANSMISSION DOES A SLIGHT KICK BEFORE SHIFTING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-45 MPH ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. GIRLFRIENDS SISTER-IN-LAW EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM WITH HER VEHICLE. HER PAPERWORK WHEN SHE GOT HER CAR BACK REFERENCED CHEVY'S BULLETIN# 18-NA-091

TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS SHUDDERING EVENT BEGAN AROUND 9,000 MILES AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. SERVICE BULLETIN 18-NA-355 HAS BEEN PUBLISHED BUT WITH MIXED RESULTS. REQUESTING GOVERNMENT AGENCY CONTINUES TO MONITOR THIS AS THE SUDDEN LURCHING COULD POTENTIALLY PUT DRIVERS INTO A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION OR BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A HAZARD. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY CONCERN AND TRANSMISSIONS ARE EXPENSIVE TO FIX/MAINTAIN AND THE COST SHOULD BE ABSORBED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE GROW AND BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD.

THE 2019 COLORADO Z71 I HAVE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER 8 TIMES SINCE MARCH. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT SPEED BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SLIPS AND JERKS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND REACCELERATING. DEALER CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE ISSUES. IT HAS BECOME SO THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ALLOWING MY WIFE TO TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE. I FEAR THAT SHE WILL BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE AT HAND. THIS IS HER PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.

HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR SPECIALLY WHEN IT IS COLD OR ON THE FIRST DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO NOT ENGAGE THE SECOND GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES IT RESULTS IN A HARD JOLT.

THE TRANSMISSION SURGES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LUNGE FORWARD WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE KEY WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY OFF ALLOWING THE KEY TO BE REMOVED. BOTH EVENTS OCCUR OCCASIONALLY SO IF THE DEALER SAYS IT DID NOT HAPPEN TO THEM THEN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BOTH THINGS ARE BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BY NUMEROUS PEOPLE. BOTH THINGS ARE SAFETY HAZARDS.

IN MOTION. 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT RIGHT . IT SHUTTERS BAD.

OIL FILTER ADAPTER INSERT GM PART NUMBER 12696079. BECOMES UNATTACHED FROM OIL FILTER HOUSING IF NOT EXTREMELY CAREFUL DURING A OIL CHANGE SERVICE. RESULTING IN TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. MINE WAS DISLODGED DURING A OIL CHANGE. BUT I CAUGHT THE NO OIL PRESSURE WARMING IMMEDIATELY. OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE NOT BEEN A LUCKY. SEE GM TECH BULLETIN 19-NA-006 OR GM TECH LINK.COM

SHUTTERING/SHAKING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS WHILE IN MOTION SPEEDS FROM 10MPH TO 80MPH. MORE SO IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. HARSH DOWN SHIFT WHEN COMING TO A STOP.

I CAME UP TO A TWO LANE CITY STREET, FOUR WAY STOP INTERSECTION AND STOPPED. I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT (IN ORDER TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN) AND STEPPED ON THE GAS. THE VEHICLE TURNED TO THE LEFT, OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION, INSTEAD OF RIGHT. THE STEERING STAYED LOCKED TO THE LEFT AND WOULD NOT TURN IN IN EITHER DIRECTION. I HAD JUST CAME OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. HAD THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THE DEALER SAID, THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE STEERING MOTOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT PARTS CAN FAIL, BUT THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO FAIL SAFE MODE, IS DISCONCERTING. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I HATE TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS AT SPEED INSTEAD OF STOPPED.

THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHUTTER WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OR UNDER SLIGHT PRESSURE/STRAIN. OCCASIONALLY THE TRUCK SHIFT VERY HARD. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WONT LAST AND IT CAUSES A TERRIBLE RIDE. *TR

2019 CHEVY COLORADO WITH 13125 MILES DRIVING ST RT 45 LISBON OHIO 40 - 45 MPH UP SLIGHT GRADE, NOTICED / SMELLED SMOKE IN CONSOLE AREA BETWEEN SEATS, TRIED TO DO MINOR ACCELERATION TO GET OVER SLIGHT GRADE AND THE ENGINE DIED. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT TO STOP AND NO BRAKES NO POWER STEERING ,TRIED EMERGENCY BRAKE STILL DID NOT STOP. SPLIT DECISION TO EITHER CRASH INTO CONCRETE BARRIER OR GET BACK ONTO HIGHWAY. LIGHT TRAFFIC SO MUSCLED TRUCK BACK ON HIGHWAY AND BUMPED CURB TO TRY AND SLOW VEHICLE. FINALLY SLOWED ENOUGH TO TRY EMERGENCY BRAKE AGAIN AND IT WORKED TO STOP TRUCK. PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE, WITH FLAMED SHOOTING OUT DRIVER SIDE UNDERNEATH BETWEEN DRIVER DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR. RUNNING BOARD HOT ENOUGH TO BURN MY JEANS AS I EXITED. VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTER TRIED TO PUT OUT FIRE WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS DID HIGHWAY PATROL. FLAMES STILL ACTIVE. VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN HAD FIRE PUT OUT. NO WARNING CHIMES, NO FLASHING LIGHTS, NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. INSURANCE COMPANY HAD INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR LOOK AT VEHICLE, HE/SHE BELIEVES IS A GENERAL MOTORS ISSUE AND HAS CONTACTED THEM TO ALSO INVESTIGATE CAUSE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAS A DELAYED DOWNSHIFT, CAUSING THE TRUCK JUMP FORWARD DURING A STOP. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS BEING HIT FROM BEHIND, AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE. SOMETIMES IT HITS SO HARD, IT WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO BE THROWN PAST MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE PREPARING TO TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FACTORY TRANSMISSION FLUID BE REPLACED WITH A THICKER FLUID, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THAT DONE. ALTHOUGH IT FIXED THE PREVIOUS ISSUE OF VIBRATION, CAUSED FROM THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHING BACK AND FOURTH BETWEEN GEARS RAPIDLY, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE HARD AND DELAYED DOWNSHIFT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FROM THE MOMENT I PULLED IT OFF THE LOT, WITH ONLY 4 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRUCK WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP, IN WHICH THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

BOUGHT 6 MONTHS AGO 7000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING FELT LIKE I DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS, I TOOK IF TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THAT WAS NORMAL. THEY CHANGED THE FLUID AND SAID DRIVE IT FOR 500 MILES. NOW I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE EVERY TIME I START IT AND THERE IS A BANG IN THE TRANSMISSION, THEY WANTED ME TO LEAVE IT AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOU HAVE A 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON YOU DRIVE TRAIN. TOLD THEM ME AND MY WIFE WERE GOING ON VACATION AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH THIS PURCHASE I MADE. WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. *TR

STEERING STARTED MAKING A "RATTLING" NOISE AND FINALLY LOCKED UP SO IT COULD NOT BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE RATTLING NOISE, I DROVE TO A NEARBY CHEVROLET DEALER (AUTO NATION, GILBERT, AZ) AND THEN AS I WAS WORKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE STEERING LOCKED UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER, OPENED THE HOOD AND LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A WHILE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE ARCADIA CHEVROLET BUICK LOCATED AT (210 S BREVARD AVE, ARCADIA, FL 34266) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

2019 CHEVY COLORADO ZR2- SHUTTERS OR HESITATES BEFORE SHIFTING UP AT 5 / 45 / 65 MPH. FEELS LIKE YOU DID NOT PRESS THE GAS WHEN ACCELERATING. IT IS INTERMITTENT, SO THEREFORE VERY HARD TO DUPLICATE FOR THE DEALERSHIP. THREE TIMES TO THE DEALER. #1 TRANNY FLUSH #2 REPROGRAMMED THE TRANNY #3 SORRY MA'AM WE CAN'T DUPLICATE WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN ON THOSE 0 DEGREE MORNINGS THE TRUCK BARELY WANTS TO GET GOING. DEALERSHIP SAYS 'THIS IS NORMAL WITH AN 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION.' I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF CARS AND NONE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. OCCASIONALLY IT LUNGES FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP- THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AS I DRIVE IN THE CITY EVERYDAY. VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO HAVE.

THE GAS TANK/GAUGE WILL BE ON "FULL", THEN-WHILE DRIVING, THE GAS GAUGE WILL GO TO "E" AND THE DASH WILL ALERT YOU AS TO NO FUEL. UPON TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER COULD FIND NO ISSUES THROUGH THE COMPUTER. THE "SECOND" OCCURRENCE-THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER, AND THEY STATED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE "THIRD" OCCURRENCE-THE GAUGE WENT TO "E", WHILE DRIVING, THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS NOW A CORD/WIRE THAT ATTACHED TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE TRUCK. SINCE IT "APPEARS" THE RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE IS QUESTIONABLE, AND THE DEALER(S) HAVE NOT FULLY CORRECTED THE ISSUE, HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY HAS FUEL? ALSO, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BLUE TOOTH LINKING TO "I-PHONES/IOS SYSTEMS (ONLY), NOT ANDROID PHONE/SYSTEMS,AS CALL/TEXT NOTIFICATIONS MAY NOT ALWAYS ALERT WHILE YOU ARE IN THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST DEALER STATED THEY CONTACTED GM, BUT SO FAR-THERE IS NO FINAL RESOLUTION FROM GM REGARDING THE BLUE TOOTH ISSUE WITH I-PHONES/IOS SYSTEMS. I DO HAVE ALL RECEIPTS FOR ALL ACTIONS TAKEN REGARDING THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A FUEL LEAK AT THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (1205 PRICE RD SE, ALBANY, OR 97322) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK LEAK WAS DUE TO ROAD DEBRIS WHICH PUNCTURED THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD REMAINED IN CUSTODY OF THE DEALER DUE TO THE PARTS NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIR BEING ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT OFFERED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

2019 CHEVROLET COLORADO Z71 4X4 VEHICLE SHUTTERS NOTICEABLY WHEN IN MOTION ON FLAT ROADS OR UPHILL. PROBLEM ALWAYS OCCURS IN ALL ROAD AND ENVIRONMENT TEMPS AND APPEARS MOST OFTEN IN MOVING OPERATION OF 45 TO 65 MPH.

WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT DOWN A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY THE FRONT PASSENGER CONTROL ARM BROKE CAUSING THE WHEEL TO COLLAPSE AND FOLD UP UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE DRIVER NOTICED LOSS OF STEERING AND THEN AN ABRUPT STOP. THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE INCIDENT OCCURED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STRIKE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THE DRIVEWAY WAS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUALLY THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE INCIDENT. THE FRACTURE IN THE CONTROL ARM SHOWS SIGNS OF CRACKING (BASED ON PICTURE ATTACHED).

JUST TOOK DELIVERY OF A 2019 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE HEADLAMP LOW BEAM WILL NOT COME ON FOR EITHER L OR R HEADLAMP.

THE BRAKES AND ROTORS IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WERE GRINDING AT 21K MILES. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AT 23K MILES AND HAD TO REPLACE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, BANGS INTO GEAR WHEN COLD. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THIS IS NORMAL, BASED FROM A BULLETIN FROM GM. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH A 112 MILES ON IT, THE TRASMISSION HAS SLIPPED FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY.

CHEVROLET 2019 COLORADO - EXPERIENCING SLIPPING ON TRANSMISSION - FEELS LIKE DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS ALL THE TIME

TRANSMISSION JERKS AND JUMPS GOING UP A GRADE, OR WHEN APPLYING POWER DURING ACCELERATION. IT IS LIKE DRIVING ON A RUMBLE STRIP, SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES THE CAB. HAVE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER NEXT WEEK, VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 3600 MILES.

VEHICLE SHUTTERS BETWEEN THE SPEED OF 15MPH TO 35MPH SHAKING VEHICLE VERY BAD. LEAKING BACK SLIDING GLASS, NO SEALANT AROUND GLASS DEALER HAD TO REPLACE BACK WINDOW NEW MOUNDING AND SEALANT. CARPET IN BACK IS SOAKED WITH POSSIBILITY OF MOLD. DEALER DID NOT MAKE ANY EFFORT TO CLEAN CARPET OR HEADLINER WHEN REAR WINDOW WAS REPAIRED. THE HEADLINER HAD A BAD STAIN AND WAS SUPERFICIALLY CLEANED, LEAVING POSSIBILITY OF MOLD IN THE FUTURE. THE CARPET AND FLOOR MATS WERE NOT CLEANED LEAVING POSSIBILITY OF MOLD IN THE FUTURE. POOR SERVICE IN THIS AREA.

TRUCK SHUDDERS WHILE DRIVING CAN'T TELL IF IT IS GOING TO SHUTDOWN OR BRAKES STRANGE SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING

I EXPERIENCE HARSH SHIFTS FROM 1-2 GEAR AND WHEN DOWNSHIFTING 2-1. IT JOLTS THE WHOLE TRUCK. IT SOMETIMES RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFTS FOR NO REASON WHEN I DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO FAIL IN THE DRIVETRAIN WHEN I'M DRIVING.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF ABOUT 60-65 MPH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2019 COLORADO ZR2 V6 AUTOMATIC (THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 5700 MILES ON IT) HAS A SHUDDER OR SHAKING PROBLEM WHICH SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK. IT ALSO CAUSES A LOUD LOW FREQUENCY BOOMING NOISE. WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IT WAS ALARMING.

I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT HEAD ON AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF I'M AT THE HOSPITAL BUT WONDER WHY THEY DID NOT GO OFF VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING FORTY MILES A HOUR REAR END TRUCK AND AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF M59 AND AIRPORT RD WATERFORD MI

TRUCK VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT'S LIKE DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD

VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WHEN ROLLING UP HILL TO A STOP OR APPLYING THE BRAKE ON AN UPHILL STOP AT LOW SPEED OR WHEN GOING UPHILL AT LOW SPEED WHILE OFF ROAD & IT LUNGES HARD ENOUGH TO SPIN BOTH BACK WHEELS ON GRAVEL THIS HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW 1 MONTH AGO!!!!

LATE DOWN SHIFT ... SHIFTS HARD ... VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD ON A STOP

THE VEHICLE WAS GOING DOWN HILL ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN WE TAPPED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WE SKID ABOUT 300 YARDS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP. WE KEPT TAPPING BRAKES TRYING TO GET THEM TO GRAB AND STOP US LUCKILY, THE CAR A HEAD OF US TURNED RIGHT AT THE LIGHT SO WE DID NOT CRASH INTO THEM. THEN WHEN IT DID STOP THE RPM STARTED REEVING UP AND THE TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD THEN THE RPM WENT DOWN. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE DID NOT GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND WRECK.

EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND VIBRATES UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION. MORE NOTICEABLE ON HILLS OR UNDER LIGHT LOAD. CHEVY DEALERS ANSWER: THEY ALL DO IT!! AFTER EXTENSIVE ONLINE SEARCHER, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 3 TO 4 YEARS WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND DISSATISFIED OWNERS! THEY FAIL TO TELL YOU THIS WHEN YOUR BUYING VEHICLE. CHEVY HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 16NA175 ON PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I'VE OWNED OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE NEVER HAD A DRIVEABILITY PROBLEM THIS SERIOUS.

. I WAS AT THE CARWASH VACUUMING THE TRUCK WHILE IN DRIVE WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO PUT THE HOSE UP, I REACHED IN TO REMOVE MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND THE TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARDS, I RAN TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE DOOR KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND AND THE 2019 COLORADA RAN OVER MY ENTIRE BODY FROM MY FEET TO MY FACE AND HEAD. I SUFFERED A PUNCTURED LUNG AND MY PELVIC BONE IS FRACTURED IN SEVERAL PLACES. ALL OF THIS WAS CAUGHT ON TAPE.

AFTER REPLACING TRANSMISSION FLUID PER TSB 19417577 TRUCK OCCASIONALLY DOES NOT COME OUT OF GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A POINT WHERE ENGINE GOES UNDER 500 RPM WHERE GAS IS APPLIED TO KEEP FROM STALLING.

STOPPED JUST INCHES SHORT AT LIGHT FROM CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AT LIGHT. DEALER CAN NOT IMMEDIATELY REPRODUCE WITH SHORT TEST DRIVE, AND WILL NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO TROUBLESHOOT. BEEN TOLD TO BRING BACK WHEN IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN.

CAMP CHEVROLET CADILLAC (101 E MONTGOMERY AVE, SPOKANE, WA 99207, (509) 381-2970) REMOVED, INSPECTED, AND REINSTALLED THE TORQUE CONVERTER DURING THE FIRST VISIT. DURING THE SECOND VISIT, THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ONLY PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND AN INSPECTION APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 23, 2019. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

TRUCK BEGAN SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AT 600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING AROUND 40 MPH AND ROUGHLY 1200 RPM IS WHEN IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE, BUT CAN ALSO FEEL IT AT HWY SPEEDS 60-75 MPH. FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER SPEED GROOVES IN THE ROAD (BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE SHUDDER WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS).

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO LATE DOWN SHIFT WHEN SLOWING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD ONCE SHIFTING HAS COMPLETED.

IN COLD WEATHER REAR DOORS VERY HARD TO LATCH. THE BACK DOORS LATCH BUT STAY AJAR WITH WARNING LIGHT ON AND ARE LOOSE. THE FRONT DOORS LATCH INTO THIS PARTICULAR SET UP. THIS IS AN EXTENDED CAB NOT A FOUR DOOR. WITHOUT LATCHING PROPERLY, FRONT DOORS MAY POP OPEN CREATING A POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE STATIONARY BUT MAY BE DRIVEN WITH DOORS NOT SECURED

WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS I GET A BAD VIBRATION. I HAVE READ WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE COLORADO. DEALER SAYS TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED NOW. I PAID OVER 30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND CAN'T DRIVE IT THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO. IT WILL LOOSEN EVERY BOLT ON THE VEHICLE.
